-Animal turning was made smoother looking
-Hiding holes no longer spawn fully under rocks
-Animals can now 'bully'- you can bite the tails of equivalent animals (with 50% reduced bite damage/xp) (thx. to PUER)- should be fun, leave FEEDBACK on reddit!
-Bug fixed: cant bite bears on hills from underwater/underground (PUER).
-To reduce tail-biting 'oppurtunists' in lakes, lower animals are now 10% slower in water
-Rhino coming tomorrow, meanwhile, working on behind-the-scenes stuff to improve servers
